resistance exercise is associated with increased oxidative stress. however, it is not completely obvious how resistance training intensity can affect the rest levels of oxidative stress indexes. therefore, the aim of the present research was to study the effect of moderate resistance (mr) and high resistance (hr) training on oxidative stress. 20 males (age: 20.6±0.7 yr, height: 1.74±0.06 m, wei...

The purpose of this study was to (a) assess the usefulness of volume load (VL), session rate of perceived exertion (SRPE), RPE load (RPEL), and a modified RPEL (RPEL-2) to estimate internal load from resistance exercise (RE) and (b) further assess the interactions between SRPE, VL, and RE intensity. Twelve healthy men (25 ± 4 years) completed RE sessions at 55, 70, and 85 1 repetition maximum (...

BACKGROUND Although the benefits of hearing aids are generally recognized for soft- and conversational-level sounds, most studies have reported negative benefits (i.e., poorer aided than unaided performance) at high noise inputs. Advances in digital signal processing such as compression, noise reduction, and directional microphone could improve speech perception at high input levels. This could...

The purpose of this investigation was to compare 4 different methods of calculating volume when comparing resistance exercise protocols of varying intensities. Ten Appalachian State University students experienced in resistance exercise completed 3 different resistance exercise protocols on different days using a randomized, crossover design, with 1 week of rest between each protocol. The proto...

BACKGROUND Many patients with lung cancer are deconditioned with poor physical fitness. Lung resection reduces physical fitness further, impairing the patient's ability to function in daily life. METHODS We conducted a single-blind randomised controlled trial of high-intensity endurance and strength training (60 min, three times a week, 20 weeks), starting 5-7 weeks after surgery. The control...

The disabled population varies significantly in regard to physical fitness, what is conditioned by the damage to the locomotor system. Recently there has been an increased emphasis on the role of competitive sport in enhancing health and the quality of life of individuals with disability. One of the sport disciplines of Paralympics is the flat bench press. The bench press is one of the most pop...

Background: Aerobic exercise, either continuous or high intensity interval training (HIIT), induces important benefits in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Resistance has been also shown to be beneficial CHF. However, data regarding combined aerobic exercise and muscle strength is still limited. The aim of this study was investigate whether adding a HIIT protocol within cardiac rehabilitati...

Autoregulatory progressive resistance exercise (APRE) is a method by which athletes increase strength by progressing at their own pace based on daily and weekly variations in performance, unlike traditional linear periodization (LP), where there is a set increase in intensity from week to week. This study examined whether 6 weeks of APRE was more effective at improving strength compared with tr...
